How to read these numbers

Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.

Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.

No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.

Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.

Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.

Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2025 Q3

is there also a discussion to potentially take some equity in a power project? Or is that not even on the table

Capital AllocationCloud & AITranscript · FY2025 Q3 →
Show response

Toby confirmed capital-light strategy, infrastructure funded by others, returns don't compete with core business, accessing value potential without equity stakes.

at a time, there was an idea that maybe a consortium of smaller E and Ps could potentially piece together a power deal. Is that no longer the case

Competitive DynamicsCloud & AITranscript · FY2025 Q3 →
Show response

Toby dismissed the consortium idea, projects are multi-gigawatt requiring 1.5+ Bcf/d, investment-grade credit, and scale that smaller peers can't provide. Jeremy added more parties reduce efficiency.

if the hyperscalers are trying to get around maybe paying up for EQT premium assets

ChallengingCloud & AICompetitive DynamicsTranscript · FY2024 Q4 →
Show response

Toby argued EQT's one-stop-shop integrated solution beats assembling multiple counterparties, especially post-Stargate when tech companies are prioritizing speed.

is it leaning towards a premium to an index or maybe a fixed pricing

Show response

Jeremy indicated both fixed and index-plus structures are on the table, priced at indifference points, with flexibility being a key competitive advantage.

Calendar 2024 Q4

maybe what are your thoughts on how involved you need to be in the project? I guess where on the spectrum do you fall

Show response

Nick said Expand is open to various structures but cognizant of cost of capital. Believes the company is capable of sole-supplier arrangements given scale, IG balance sheet, and delivery capabilities.

could you maybe talk about if you're seeing availability of transportation pickups? I mean, is -- are there roll-offs of other operators

Supply ChainDemandTranscript · FY2024 Q4 →
Show response

Nick cited capacity roll-offs from other operators, in-basin demand growth from data centers, and new infrastructure discussions as catalysts for potential Appalachian growth.
